You have missed the International Election like of which TS has never seen
since its founding. There is huge amount of messages on this list, which is
worth reading to get a good appreciation of the players, electioneering,
their tactics, some blunders, etc. which is going to form a valuable mine of
information for any future historian. You can read a summary in a message I
posted some time ago. The link to the message is:
.
<http://groups. yahoo.com/ group/theos- talk/message/ 50274>
.
If you are interested in reading the messages in the archive, Anton has
provided a webpage which makes message navigation very easy. However, my
recommendation is to read my summary first so that you will get an overall
picture so that when you read individual messages, the puzzle will be clear
and you may be able to suggest some ideas to break the impasse that is now
strangling the TS.
.
If you still have any difficulty, please feel free to post a msg here and
all of us will help you.
